API Review & Design Engineer

Our small, unique team in Apple's Software Engineering division is chartered to help framework teams throughout the company ensure the Apple developer experience is just as carefully crafted as Apple's end-user hardware and software products. We're looking for someone who's passionate about software design and excited to play a key role in organizing multi-functional projects.

The team provides API design guidance, consulting and outreach to framework engineering teams to support the development of consistent, complete, and intuitive APIs. We establish and maintain API guidelines for our OSes, and review the design of software programming interfaces to ensure comprehensive access to platform functionality is available through Apple's SDKs.

As a member of the team, you'll help refine and execute this mission through API design consulting, review process coordination, and working closely with framework teams. You'll be responsible for validating proposals, facilitating discussions, improving tools and automation, and helping transform plans into developer-focused API architecture.

The role offers a unique opportunity to shape the technologies that inspire developers worldwide and empower them to realize their dreams. You'll work with a small but impactful team that has a broad reach across Apple's software platforms.

The position offers competitive compensation between $171,600 and $302,200 base pay, plus additional benefits including comprehensive medical coverage, retirement benefits, stock programs, and education reimbursement. This is a chance to directly influence Apple's developer experience and work on technologies used by millions of developers globally.
